It was.

Shopped in the old version.

Can’t find any pictures on Google yet.

At the start of the video, then it goes to Bernard Halford, and then it goes into the banana craze.

Can anyone remember what year they changed the social club into the new shop? Late-90s but can’t remember exactly when.

The old souvenir shop was a lot better than what we have at the moment. To much clothing and footwear. The old shop concentrated on souvenirs and nick nacks to buy


the shop at the moment does not have enough cheap souvenir for the ordinary fan to spend his pocket money.

1994/95, i think... but I was just about a teen so don't quote me.. I remember buying a pencil tin and my Dad saying we were in a bar. It was confusing

from the original plans for the north stand expansion I can't see any room for a shop - certainly not one of even the same size as we have now

Aren't those plans now irrelevant?

The planning permission time scale is long gone, a complete redesign would be required and I though Khaldoon had confirmed that.

Securing new planning permission would be a formality on the existing design… might need a refresh to accommodate any changes to building regs etc.

About right I would say. Was all in the Franny Lee era. Initially he was blaming Swales for franchising it to a utd fan for peanuts and then he couldn't get him out So would have taken a year or two to sort out from when he came in as Chairman.

Eddie Phillips bought the rights off Swales for the old badge, 50k I seem to remember, both were horrible men.

OK geeze the shop and the badge. Probably why we got the Superbia badge.
